## What is Chess?

Chess is more than just a game. This is an intellectual pastime, a way to develop logical thinking and visual memory. Chess has deep roots in history, which means it has stood the test of time and is one of the oldest strategy games in the world.

The ultimate goal of the game is to checkmate your opponent. This means that the opponent's king finds himself in a situation in which capture is inevitable.

Shapes:
1. Pawns - move one square forward or 2 squares if this is the first move.
2. Knight - moves two squares vertically and one horizontally or one square vertically and two horizontally.
3. Bishop - moves diagonally to any number of squares.
4. Rook - moves one or more squares vertically or horizontally.
5. Queen - moves any distance horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
6. King - moves one square in any direction.

Rules of the game:
The rules correspond to the classical rules of chess. All chess pieces are standard and follow international rules. Select the difficulty level, first easier and then more difficult, try playing at all difficulty levels. You can also play with a friend or family member by selecting the two-player game mode, i.e. against each other and take turns. In the game, you can customize the design style of the chessboard and table, and turn sound effects on or off. There is also the ability to manually and automatically save the game.

1. Checkmate - when the player's king is in check and there is no way to get out of it.
2. Pat - The game ends in a draw if the player has nowhere to move, but there is no “check”.
3. Draw - there are not enough pieces to checkmate:
- King against king and bishop;
- King against king and knight;
- King and bishop against king and bishop (and bishops are on squares of the same color).

Castling is performed by the king and rook and can only be played after the pieces between them have been removed. The king is placed first two squares to the right or left, and then the rook from this corner “jumps” to the square that the king crossed.

Castling is not allowed when:
- The King or Rook has already moved;
- The king is in check;
- The king will go through check.

Play for fun!

### 1/5 — 폰이 체스 끝까지 가서 다른 기물로 바꾸긴 좀

*2024-08-02*

폰이 체스 끝까지 가서 다른 기물로 바꾸긴 좀 아닌 것 같아요.왜냐하면 폰이 뒤로 가거나,옆으로 끝까지 가서 다른 기물로 바꿀 수 있게 하는게 좋겠어요.

**Developer response:** 체스 게임 규칙을 읽어 보시기 바랍니다.

### 1/5 — Cuando esta el rey al cosa y así es imposible ganar horrible juego

*2024-05-19*

Cuando el rey está al lado de una cosa no te deja mover otra cosa y si o so tienes que mover al rey lo cual hace imposible comer al rey para ganar y aparte de la nada aparece un anuncio y antes dice ganaste sin ninguna razón horrible juego

**Developer response:** Te recomendamos leer las reglas del juego. Los algoritmos del juego funcionan muy bien, según lo confirman nuestros usuarios.

### 4/5 — Chess

*2023-12-10*

It’s ok but not that good because I thought the computer would play against me but it was good try

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2023-10-04*

Downloaded and played a few games against my son, this game doesn’t show when the king is in check and even allows the king to be moved into a square that puts it in check and then it’s the other players turn even though the king is in check. I very quickly deleted it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5.1 — 2026-08-07

What's new: a rebuilt chess AI

The game engine has been completely rewritten. Your opponent
now plays real openings, spots tactics and stops blundering
pieces — at every difficulty, not just the highest ones.

Difficulty
• 11 levels, from beginner to expert
• The selected level is shown under the slider and shifts
  from green to red as the challenge grows
• New games start at level 4, a comfortable middle ground

Look and feel
• In 3D, pieces are lifted and set down on their square
  instead of sliding across the board
• Pieces are placed instantly — both at startup and when
  switching between the 2D and 3D views
• The board no longer swings into position on launch
• The move sound now plays as the piece lands
• Check highlighting is translucent, so the board stays visible

• Fixed a crash caused by auto-flipping the board in
  two-player mode
• The store now loads its products reliably
